I thought Mystique was a decent performer and I really felt for her when Raven (grrr), Morgan and Sahara were being utter bitches to her :( That was really awful.
But I don't disagree with her elimination. It's cool to see bigger girls being represented (although it seems a bit tokenistic, since there's always just one who gets kicked off early on) but ... I've seen several fabulous, big drag queens who could have done a much better job. Mystique is young and seemed a bit lost on the makeup/outfits front. Maybe it's strategic, to cast a bigger girl who they know isn't going to make it too far, so it doesn't seem like she's being eliminated because of her size?
